Sun in Pisces

Sun in Pisces means you find yourself through a sense of connection with everything around you: your "I" is fluid and adjusts easily to people and surroundings. In a birth chart the Sun stands for a clear sense of "I", and Pisces blurs that sense. Pisces is a water sign ruled by Jupiter, and in the modern tradition also by Neptune. Pisces closes winter, and astrologers call the signs at the end of a season mutable, which means changeable.

Water gives impressionability and compassion, and a changeable sign gives flexibility and the ability to take the shape of circumstances. Neptune adds a pull towards dreams and towards compassion without conditions, and Jupiter adds breadth and faith. The strength of this placement is imagination and the ability to empathise without words, to see unity where others see only separation. The vulnerability is built into the placement itself: blurred boundaries make it hard to tell your own from someone else's, and your will gets scattered. Your "I" is like watercolour on wet paper, where the paint runs and mixes with the next colour, so other people's expectations stick to you easily.

The weak spot of the Sun in Pisces is escaping reality into dreams or into the role of the victim, when other people's needs replace your own centre. A simple check helps you tell your own wish from someone else's. When you agree to a request or to someone's plans, you might ask yourself whether you would want this if nobody had asked. Or wait until morning before you answer: someone else's wish usually fades overnight, and your own stays.
